Axolotl Dragon Types
There are 4 main types
- Ocean

- Domestic/designer

Life Cycle:
Axolotl Dragons lay eggs, the eggs will remain in a state of suspended animation until they come in contact with water.
Eggs hatch into tadpoles, that will remain a dull grayish color until they imprint on either an insect or amphibian, they will then begin mimicking the colors and patters of said creature until they reach adulthood at 4-6 months.
Droughts can also trigger another stage of development more suited for travel on land. They develop long limbs, dry tougher skin and lateral line down their sides.
